Huawei to launch world's first 5G 8K television this year

Huawei plans to launch the world's first 5G TV as soon as this year. The TV will come with 5G modules and a high-end 8K resolution display. The 5G TV would be able to handle data-heavy content such as 360-degree videos. According to the report, is to launch a TV that delivers an 8K resolution. In case you're not aware, 8K has a resolution that's four times greater than a regular 4K TV. Major TV manufacturers like Samsung, Sony and LG are betting on 8K TVs, though there's particularly no 8K content available.

The Shenzhen-based company wants to dominate the 5G revolution and a TV could help create an ecosystem of connected appliances. Huawei is one of the rare Chinese company that designs its own chips used in smartphones. The company's chip-making subsidiary, HiSilicon, is also the world's second-largest provider of TV chips.
